Nagios Support Forum

Thanks Eric, I never though about the API :) We do have nagrestconf installed and we are going to use that to setup services. hosts etc And yes, it can also be used to get the configuration values in json just like you mentioned with the nagios API. Thank you all for the help on this, thread can be ...

Actually I found the answer to the problem, you cannot use contact macros for service event handlers. The only way I found to pass over contacts is by using the $CONTACTGROUPMEMBERS:customer1group$ on-demand macro, however for this the contact group name needs to be hardcoded in the event handler co...

Just one last question, I was testing the event handlers in an attempt to replicate the default nagios notification. So I added the following in the configuration: Command: define command { command_name event-notify command_line $USER1$/eventhandlers/event-notify $SERVICESTATE$ $SERVICESTATETYPE$ $S...

In addition to what tgriep said, I dug into the notification code and found this: https://github.com/NagiosEnterprises/nagioscore/blob/master/base/notifications.c#L567 I could have sworn as well that service notifications could go out when the host is down, but we must have been collectively mistak...

You can do this a couple of ways, but event handlers come to mind, as they fire every time a service check is completed. Rather than notifying through Nagios directly, you could write a service event handler that always notifies when something is not in an OK state, since service checks are perform...

Hello, Here are the host and service definitions. Also all other hosts/services have the same behavior probably because all were added the same way. define host { host_name xxx.xxx.com alias xxx.xxx.com address xx.xx.xx.xx check_period 24x7 check_command check-host-alive!500,50%!1000,100%!xx.xx.xx.x...

Hello, I'm working on Nagios Core 4.0.8 running on a Centos 7 machine and I noticed that service notifications are not sent in case the host is in a down state. I know this is logical to have, however in case our setup requires precise service notifications regardless of the host state can this be c...
